Data Organizations Participating in HCUP

The HCUP databases are based on the data collection efforts of data organizations in participating States that maintain statewide data systems and that have partnered with AHRQ. The HCUP databases would not be possible without the following organizations that contribute data to HCUP. Many of the organizations have Web sites describing their data or providing statistics based on their State data. Links to these Web sites are provided below.
